My 2 sons and I just "enlisted" for a WWII history tour. We'll be headed to Guam, Saipan and Tinian in about a year from now. My neighbor, when I was growing up, was a Marine veteran that served in the Pacific Campaign on Guam and Tinian. I went to school with his kids and his son is going to find out for me exactly where he was. My wife's Uncle Johnnie fought the Japanese at Iwo Jima and earned a bronze star for rescuing a wounded man under fire. Johnnie was also the town barber and gave me my first haircut 25 years before I met my wife. Small town, small world and precious few of those heroes left.
For those of you that like to travel, I encourage you to check out Beyond Band of Brothers Tours. This will be my third tour and I think they are great. SGM Matthew Quick 1SG Frank Boynton LTC Monte Anderson @SSgt Harvey "Skip" Porter

I had the pleasure of serving seven months in Guam as part of the only active duty Army unit in the Island. Guam is full of history from WWII, sad history for such beautiful place. If you get the chance to dive, you must go to Apra Harbour and see the Tokai Maru and the Cormorant, unique because the one ship is from WWI and the other right on top of it is from WWII.

MSG (Join to see) I may have to take the chance to dive on my own if there's not an opportunity as part of the tour. Thanks for sharing the info.
